  1. Dreadful grammer and spelling on that last message last night. Must have been half asleep. If anyone was able to make any sense of that previous message I would be very interested in finding out how you join the local Carp meets for New Jersey etc. I have been looking into the Raitan river etc along with various lakes in and around my area Hoboken and Morristown. Any local knowledge would be a great help and much appreciated. Thks in advance.

    Welcome aboard Grant , just sent you a PM :)

  2. I think boats and jet skies may be a slight problem this time of the year...

    Must admit i didnt think about that ,could always do a half day fish in :-)

    With the weather being so hot i dont think DoD would fish well especially if the sun is up with no cloud cover .

    May be we have to give this one a miss unless there are a few die hards for donaldson park on saturday ??

    Or does anyone fancy DoD saturday night ??

  4. Great weather but the 2am storm put an end to night fishing down there, only myself , john and Kim fished ,Laurence couldn't make it john n Kim both had 5 carp each early on but once the sun got up the carp stopped feeding .

    I didn't get down and set up until 11 ,I'd planned on over nighting but the fish stopped feeding by the time I got the rods in.

    Thanks to world classic baits for the free samples of POP UPS that I handed out.I will post a couple of pics later in the week.

  5. Thanks to everyone that came along , it was great to meet a few new faces and to see all of the regulars at NJ 's fish ins .As always a great venue although for the 2nd time the carp have eluded me B)

    Looking forward to next months fish in at Dod , this one will be an over night session for sure .. make sure you pack your bivvies :)

    If any one has venues to suggest for our empty spots please feel free to put them forward otherwise we will just mix up Dod and the raritan to fill those spots .

    Here's a couple of pics from saturday

  6. With trying to get a permit to over night fish the first hurdle was a certificate of insurance , to get this I would need a firm head count on how many would be attending , I would need the insurance certificate before they will consider the application . I will have a chat with everyone down there next week and try and get a head count.

    And try and get this set up for a later date.

    On the pre baiting front I will be down there on the Friday around 530 to get some bait in.Laurence will be swinging by aswell.

    Just as a side note it is illegal to use a slingshot in the park :-)

    Really looking forward to this to kick start the Nj fish in year.

  7. For anyone that needs a street address the park can be found at 398 Riverview avenue, Highland park ,NJ 08904

    Looking forward to this one as its been a long winter for sure , I will be looking to get some pre baiting done in the week or so leading up to this .

    Would be cool to go back to the Raritan like last year, but with a twist ;)

    The local Park Rangers were awesome and we had a blast talking to them during the day, they also suggested that probably we could get a permit from the higher ranks to overnight there

    (park is controlled by them not the city ;) ) we could try that and do a Friday after work till Sunday pm, early spring or late fall would be nice, lot less people and better fishing ;)

    Sounds good to me , I will look into it and see what they say. Will definitely add that river for at least one fish in this year like you say though we will make sure its s earlier event to avoid to many people.thanks for the heads up miguel.

  12. Myself and Laurence will be getting together in the next couple of weeks to work out the NJ fish in dates for 2011 , if there are any waters that you would like one of these to be held on please feel free to post up or PM myself or Laurence . Ideally the lake/river would be able to host 10-20 anglers .
